Description

1859 Indian Cent, PR65
One-Year Laurel Wreath Type

1859 1C PR65 PCGS. CAC. The Indian cent debuted in 1859, featuring the sought-after Laurel Wreath reverse that was only used during the first year of the design. The Philadelphia Mint produced a modest mintage of 800 proof Indian cents for collectors that year, making the issue scarce at the PR65 grade level. This spectacular Gem displays sharply detailed design elements and well-preserved copper-red surfaces with deeply reflective fields. The high quality within the grade is confirmed by CAC. Population: 62 in 65 (4 in 65+), 33 finer. CAC: 11 in 65, 7 finer (3/22).
From The Derek Overstreet Collection. (Registry values: N2998)
